Star India batter Virat Kohli missed a second consecutive century in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26. He was dismissed for 77 off 61 deliveries against Gujarat on Friday at the BCCI Centre of Excellence Ground in Bengaluru. Kohli had entered the match following a solid hundred in the first match against Andhra.
Kohli walked to the crease early as opener Priyansh Arya got dismissed in the second over by CT Gaja. He did not take time to settle and was seen in a scintillating mood, flashing his willow all round, and started his innings with a flurry of boundaries. He moves to 30s off just 16 balls, striking at over 190.
Kohli brought up his half-century in just 29 deliveries as Arpit Rana struggled at the other end. However, as wickets fell at the other end with Arpit (10) and Nitish Rana (12 off 22) departing cheaply, Kohli had to bide his time at the crease.
As a result, he had to slow down after completing his fifty, as Delhi desperately needed him to stay at the crease. He was eventually dismissed for 77 (61), losing his wicket against CT Gaja. Kohli smashed 13 fours and a six during his entertaining innings, leaving everyone at the ground enthralled.
